can someone explain to me why Dutchy deserves first? I mean I think the editing was really good but I just don't see it as the best

M2 probably has the most effort out of any vid put into it. Exus took 6 months editing the video, some of the stuff he does in that video makes me shudder just thinking about how long and tedious the work was. On top of that, it was well put together. Consistent, and entertaining so I could see why so many people liked it. It's a perfect vid for this community.

You didn't see it as the best, but more than 70 people did. No explenation needed.

He has a point. It's great, and deserves to be nominated, but it isn't the best edited out of these. This competition is a fantastic showcase of talent - gameplay and editing - but it largely comes down to a popularity contest. the biggest and best well known videos always win. They're not necessarily the best.

Your opinion. Also, read the post above you. There's pretty much 2 types of people who are voting for this category right now. The ones that don't know much of editing, and just vote for whatever looked best in their eyes. And the people who do know alot about editing, and know how much effort, talent and creativity everything costed. Alot of the top editors on this site (including pTw above you) sure as hell know how much effort went in this tage. I am not saying that time consuming editing always have to be the best editing, but I personally thought that was the case for M2. I believe M2 has a total of 350 perfectly masked out frames. Not to mention it was edited ALL-in-AE, wich I thought almost no one can properly do, and there is alot more.

And you might be a bit right as far a popularity go .. but how did I lose the category that had to do something with me(gameplay), but won 1 (almost 2) category(s) that have to do something with Exus? I don't think it's making that much of a difference.
